Chapter 776: Tear Of Blood.
She spoke using spiritual communication, "Mom, you have two at your six."
Amelia replied, "Got it, watch."
Watch was used as a tactical position and a tag. The Terrans were a military creed; it did not matter how long they had been away from the battlefield. As soon as they held a weapon, they were all killing machines. Amelia displayed that same spirit, and Shi Tao recalled the military way, her expression becoming serious.
...
Shi Lang looked at the people around him; he would manipulate his clones to go and help them when needed. He saw Shi Tao regulating the pace of the attack, and they were all fighting very effectively. The Terran took a deep breath and wanted to say something when a hoarse voice sounded behind him, "How dare you look away when fighting with me?"
Shi Lang looked at him and said, "You are not strong enough, pissant."
He did not hide his disdain for the guy at all. Demonic Cultivators were crazy people, living to watch the world burn in chaos. After Shi Lang insulted the guy, he came over to attack Shi Lang with scimitars.
Shi Lang got busy with the enemy, unable to pass his instructions to Shi Tao. The battle was intense, and the city suffered a lot of damage. People unable to cultivate had all been sent to safe houses, as demonic cultivators had placed multiple portals inside the human cultivators.
This was a technique that could not be countered; no one would be able to tell if the human cultivator had been weaponized. So the martial council had come up with emergency protocols, ensuring the city was sealed and civilians were safe. The city army would be present inside the city and would fight the enemy.
Casualties were fewer, but some unfortunate souls could not escape fate and died. Their corpses lingered along the streets. The soldiers were fighting the demonic cultivators to the best of their abilities, but they were unable to keep up with them.
The force that protected the force was often trained to lower collateral damage, making them slow down and be more cautious. The city guard captain yelled, "Men! Do not lose hope."
They were being pressed hard, and this was the only thing he could say to them. However, suddenly, they heard a demonic cultivator yell, "Who the fuck are you?"
The city guards caught sight of figures dressed in black and red cloaks. They all seemed mysterious and dangerous. The leader of this group said, "Go, leave none standing."
These people moved like phantoms and were so quick that they killed every enemy before them in a few attacks. The people worked in unison, as if performing for the masses in a theater.
The city guard captain was taken aback, but the leader of the other group said, "Are you going to stand there and sleep the entire battle?"
The man woke up and spotted the cloaked figure standing next to him. He was scared, but the figure said, "Tell your men to guide these scum to us. I hope you know what I mean."
The guard captain nodded and quickly instructed the soldiers to kite and guide the enemy to the group of newcomers. All these people in black and red cloaks were the elite squads of the Asura Hall. The five big squads out of seven had come over, fighting the enemy all over the city.
The streets flowed with blood, and the Asura Hall people were the reason. They were killing the enemies and moving forward. The entire city was a playground for them. It was not like they were the only people, but they coordinated in a way that none else could have imagined.
...
Outside the city barrier, Tian Long and the rest of the Immortal Sovereigns were fighting the demonic sovereigns with great ferocity. Tian Long faced the person he called Old Centipede.
The reason behind this was that the person belonged to the Bug sect. These people used bugs to harvest blood from humans and then refined it to cultivate. This man, Old Centipede, was the expert from the bug sect. He was so deeply involved in cultivation that his face had developed a scar.
Tian Long fought with him using his sword, while Old Man Centipede had a huge centipede made of demonic energy. The battle between the sovereigns was nothing too damaging. They fought using Dao Laws.
Tian Long waved his sword, and it collided with the centipede. He practiced the Dao of Sword and had the element of fire. The centipede shivered from the Dao laws channeling through its body. The sword Dao laws cut it up from many places, but the demonic Dao Laws from the centipede also attacked Tian Long.
Suddenly, Mandala appeared behind Tian Long, and he turned around to attack the monk. He could sense that the monk did not have any good intentions for appearing behind him. The monk smiled and said, "I apologize, Patron Heavenly Dragon."
His third eye opened, and a ray of light flashed through the void. Lao Xu saw this and yelled, "Traitor!"
Tian Long\'s body fell from the void; it was not sure if he was alive or dead. The people stopped, and Lao Xu attacked Mandala. The latter defended the attack but suffered some backlash from it. Amethyst asked, "Why? Why?"
Mandala smiled and replied, "It was necessary, he was holding power for too long. He was about to disperse the balance of the forces of the dark and the light. He had to be stopped."
Suddenly, the void tunnel opened, and Zither Soul appeared before them. The lady did not say anything to anyone, and no one attacked her as she landed next to Tian Long. She saw a hole through his brows, raised her indifferent eyes, and looked at Mandala as she said, "You used the Dao Laws of space to kill him, giving up all your cultivation. Was it worth it?"
Mandala nodded and said, "Yes, it was."
Zither Soul nodded, looking back at the face of her beloved laying on the ground as if sleeping with peace. She took out her zither and said, "Since you wish to keep the balance so much, then you shall also pay a price."
The lady began to strum the strings one at a time. The sound of the zither passed the people, and they were calm. However, when the demonic cultivators heard this song, they exploded into a mist of blood.
The people were shocked, unable to understand what was going on.
...
Shi Lang was fighting inside the city when he suddenly heard Lao Xu\'s loud yell. A few moments later, he heard a string sound. The demons before him began to explode in blood mist. He stopped, and so did the other people.
After hearing a few strums, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at the direction where the sound originated. Shi Lang yelled, "Amy, you have the command."
He rushed
away out of the arena and appeared outside the city in a few flashes. Shi Lang saw all the people standing in a daze, and he saw Zither Soul strumming on the zither. He rushed closer to her and yelled, "Moon, do not do that. Stop playing that song! I beg you, stop playing."
Moon Jade turned to look at him and with a sad smile said, "Tian is gone, what can I do by staying here."
Shi Lang was stunned; he looked beside Moon Jade and found Tian Long laying on the bed. His eyes opened wide, and he walked closer with heavy steps. His sword was trembling and emitting a sharp whistling sound. Raksha materialized next to Moon Jade and placed a hand on her shoulder.
She was Tian Long\'s sword and had some attachment to him. Watching him like this, she was going crazy. Shi Lang touched Tian Long, and after some thoughts, he said, "Stop playing that song. He is not yet dead."
Everyone was shocked, and Shi Lang said, "Trust me, Moon."
Moon Jade was crying but even then she stopped playing the song of death. Mandala said, "Young man, how can he survive the attack that destroyed his soul sea? Could you not sense that his soul just dissipated."
Shi Lang took a calm look at him and said, "Did you attack him?"
Mandala nodded and Shi Lang asked, "Why?"
The monk replied, "For the balance."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "You followed your karma, I will follow mine."
Everyone was surprised and then they saw a tear of blood drip from Shi Lang\'s right eye as he said, "Those who harm my people shall die be it the demons, be it the gods, or be it the monks. If anyone tried to stop me I shall slay them be it friends, be it family, or be it the heavens."
Lightning flashed across the sky and the air turned heavy. Shi Lang was not angry but he was agonized and he sought for the destruction of his enemies. He raised his hand and Raksha\'s hilt materialized in his hand following with the blade.
